Wet-process rare earth smelting high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater resource utilization method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a wet-process rare earth smelting high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater resource utilization method which comprises the following steps: step one, pretreating high ammonia-nitrogen containing wastewater through alkalization, sedimentation and filtration; step two, introducing the pretreated wastewater into a wastewater preheater, and preheating; step three, introducing the preheated wastewater into an ammonia distillation tower, carrying out ammonia distillation, and forming strong aqua ammonia with the concentration of 13%-20%; and when the ammonia nitrogen concentration of tower bottom wastewater is not more than 100 ppm, discharging out of the ammonia distillation tower, and introducing into a barrel of the wastewater preheater to be used as a thermal fluid; and step four, carrying out deep treatment on the wastewater after heat exchange, and when the ammonia nitrogen concentration is not more than 10 ppm, discharging the wastewater outwards. The embodiment of the invention also discloses a wet-process rare earth smelting high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater resource utilization device. With adopting of the method and the device, the ammonia nitrogen wastewater with different concentrations is subjected to two-stage treatment of the ammonia distillation method and the depth treatment method, the resource utilization rate of the high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater reaches more than 95%, the processing energy consumption is reduced, the equipment scaling time is prolonged, and thermal pollutions of wastewater discharging are decreased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of waste water treatment, in particular to a method for resource utilization of high ammonia nitrogen wastewater from wet rare earth smelting, and correspondingly, a device for implementing the method for resource utilization of high ammonia nitrogen wastewater from wet rare earth smelting. Background technique [0002] Rare earth materials play an indispensable and key role in modern emerging green energy technologies, high-tech and national defense systems, such as electric vehicles, wind power generators, lighting and displays, computer hard drives, mobile communications, missile guidance, and smart bombs. These technologies are called "rare earth-dependent technologies" internationally, and there are no other materials that can replace them. Therefore, rare earth materials have become an indispensable strategic material for realizing technology and transforming traditional industries. The rare earth indust...

Problems solved by technology

At present, most rare earth smelting enterprises in my country are facing serious environmental pressure due to the limitation of wastewater treatment technology and treatment cost. Only some enterprises only use simple evaporation, concentration and crystallization process to recover ammonium chloride for high-concentration ammonia-nitrogen wastewater. Short, high energy consumption, high operating costs, and because of incomplete pretreatment, the recovered ammonium chloride product has low purity, poor economic benefits, and enterprises are not motivated to operate; on the other hand, for the medium For low-concentration ammonia-nitrogen wastewater, most enterprises simply add lime to adjust the pH and then discharge it directly, causing great pollution to the ecological environment. At present, there are no relevant reports that comprehensively consider the recycling of rare earth hydrometallurgy wastewater resources and zero-discharge wastewater

[0004] In order to solve the wastewater containing high ammonia nitrogen produced by rare earth smelting, and recycle the ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater, the existing technology, such as Chinese patent CN 102030438 B, discloses a treatment method for ammonia nitrogen wastewater, which uses stripping method and resin adsorption method to remove ammonia nitrogen in wastewater , although the deamination effect is better than the traditional simple stripping method, but this method requires frequent elution of the resin due to the use
